So much fun I bought a second one.

I use Alexa Echo Spot multiple times a day, every day. This one was such a great deal!!! The Spot if very helpful for timers, reminders, and can even broadcast to another device in the home, as an intercom system. She can be used to count days, fetch recipes and so much more.

The echo spot is an excellent, versatile device. I love the design and the cute looks, perfect for the bedroom or for the kitchen. It's very easy to set up, it has lots of functionality and it's possible to add more and more skills. Very happy with my purchase, I would like to buy another one.

I got this for the wife for her birthday. She wanted one to replace our apparently outdated Echo Dot that wasn't acting right any more. Allegedly, the Dot wasn't supported any longer and started having trouble processing certain requests, so I purchased the Spot since she likes her other one so...

The Echo Spot just might be the perfect smart speaker, with a versatility and fashion-sense that give it a sense of purpose and style.

Excellent design that looks great in any room; 2.5-inch circular screen is bright; crisp; and doubles as a clock; Camera can be completely disabled

Hefty cord somewhat limits where it can be placed; Videos are truncated in full-screen mode

"Always two there are; no more, no less. A master and an apprentice." Yoda was referring to Sith lords, but he could easily have been talking about Amazon's general product strategy. The company has a habit of releasing a big product and following it up with a smaller, more affordable alternative.

Useful screen; Video calling works well; Compact dimensions; More intuitive than audio-only Echo devices

Sound could be better

The orb-shaped device is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and has a flat base which gives it the perfect angle to view on a desk, a bedside table or a kitchen counter. Users can personalise the screen with a clock face or their favourite photos.

Good looking bit of kit, alarm, clock etc; all works really well

Having problems in linking with other existing Alexa products for sharing music or using as intercom; store staff knowledge of product surprisingly weak; told amazon employee would be in store; on certain days despite returning on 2 of these days they were not there

The Spot hits a number of key areas: it's the best designed of the Echo range, giving it immediate appeal. Whether in the bedroom, on a kitchen worktop or side table in the living room, the Spot fulfils its role as master of all.

'Alexa Calling' video calls; Cute design; Sounds pretty good considering the size; The smartest radio alarm clock you'll ever find

'Drop In' could cause privacy concerns; Price feels a little high compared to Echo Dot; Small screen for video playback

The diminutive Echo Spot is a smart speaker unlike any other. And as a bedside companion, it's uniquely entertaining.
